Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission contains major red flags, notably unverifiable and highly exaggerated claims about traction ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical revenue figures ('all time marketcap: 500000'). Technical innovation is limited to basic prompt engineering for marketing. The mismatch between the target audience ('academic tech transfer') and claimed reach ('everyone') further lowers response quality, placing this project firmly below 0.
